Before Signing Up For The RBL, You Must Read, Understand And Agree To These Rules & Regulations.

This is a weekly battle league. Matches will be set each tuesday, check ins will be due friday, verses due saturday, and the voting period will end the next tuesday & the new matches will be made.

There Will Be No:

* Biting
* Unnecessary Beefing
* Feeding
* Free-Posting
* Recycling
* Making Up Aliases to Vote For Yourself

Anyone caught doing any of these will incur anything from docked votes to a banning, as the moderators see fit.


Other Rules:


There Will Be A 2 Hour Free Grace Period.
Anything Over 2, Up To 12 Hours Results In -1 Vote.
Anything Over 12, Up To 24 Hours Results In -2 Votes.
Anything Over 24 Hours Results In A DQ Unless Site Goes Down.


Voting Rules


* There Will be No Dr/Hate Votes. If You Feel Someone Has Voted Against you Out Of Dr Or Hate, You Can lodge A Complaint In The Appropriate Thread (Not The Battle Thread), Or PM A Mod. The Vote Will Then Be Reviewed & may Or may Not Be Discounted. Moderators Decision Is Final.

* No Crew Votes, Unless Your Opponent Approves Them Or You Are Both In the Same Crew. (You CAN Vote AGAINST Someone In Your Crew)

* NO UNEXPLAINED VOTES.

Specifically, scorecards without a rationale WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

You may use any style of voting you wish (breakdowns, scorecard WITH rationale, paragraphs, etc) as long as you refer to the verses (with quotes or by saying "That line about ____" ) to support reasons why you think who won did.

If A moderator deems a vote to be unexplained, it will be discounted.


How To Win:


3-0 Is A KO
4-1 Is A Win (not a KO)
First To 5 Is A Win

There Will be a voting period at the end of which the person with the most votes will win, if none of the above ways to win were met.


Rankings


Your rankings will be based upon your win/loss percentage, for example

Person A: 2 wins, 0 Losses - 100%
Person B: 2 wins, 1 Loss - 66.7%
Person C: 1 win, 1 loss - 50%

KO’s will be recorded, and used to determine who gets a title shot when more two eligible people have the same win/loss percentage. (IE.. Say 2 People Are Tied At A 100% Rating And We Are Trying To Determine A #1 Contender. We Will Pick Whoever Has The Most 3-0 KOs)

If You No Show, It Will Be An Automatic 2 Losses Added To Your R.B.L Record (No-shows will also be recorded & if you no show to frequenty you may not be allowed to participate)


Weight Classes


Light Weight:

0 - 49% Rating
Or less than 3 wins

Lighweights can drop 3-5 bars

Middle Weight:

50 - 74.9% Rating
Or less than 6 wins

middleweights can drop 4-6 bars

Heavy Weight:

75 - 100% rating

Heavywrights can drop 5-8 bars, or 5- Unlimited bars when the HW champ has the Undisputed belt (to be worked out between yourselves)


Belts


There will be a lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight & undisputed belt.

Initially, everyone will be starting in lightweight - so the first person to win via KO in week 1 will be awarded the lightweight belt. After this, the belt holder will have to defend the belt each week against the #1 contendor.

The #1 contendor is the person with the best win/loss percentage (ranking) in their weight class. If two people have an equal win/loss percentage then the person with the most KOs will get the shot. If there is an equal number of KOs then the person who's battle finished first in the previous round will get the shot.

Once we have 5 middleweights the middle weight belt will be introduced, same deal for heavyweight.

If you lose the belt, you will have to wait 3 weeks to get another shot at it, regardless of your ranking.

To get a shot at a belt you must be in the correct weight class, but to defend it you may be in any class. (i.e. if a lightweight successfully defends the belt a few times their win/loss percentage will probably make them a middleweight - but they can continue to defend the lightweight belt if they wish)

There is no "retiring" of belts - the number of weeks you have held the belt for will be recorded in an RBL HOF type thingy... You may forfeit a belt at any stage if you wish.

If you successfully defend the heavyweight belt 3 times, you become the Undisputed Champion. The Undisputed belt can only be obtained by defending the heavyweight belt 3 times successfully, i.e. the #1 heavyweight condendor will only be battling for the heavyweight belt, not the undisputed.

Noone may hold more than one belt at any stage, except heavyweight & undisputed

Nice shit overall. Lot's of work to be done but I'm sure you guys'll do it. Once the stores' back up this'll be even more fun. Those stips at the bottom are dope.

One question, how does the battling sequence for this league work? Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I read anything about it. Is it one battle a week or what?

This is my first time at a site like this. I want to sign up but I have questions: What is feeding and recycling, What happens during a grace period, Is this all text battles, and How do you vote????

Firstly, this is all text battling. No audio, at this point in time.

Feeding - when your verse is based on what your opponent has written about you.
Recycling - using a verse from a previous battle in this current battle.

Grace period is basically an extended period for you to post your verse in 2 hours late without any of the penalties mentioned.

..Well, I must say... That is a beautiful blue-print that you two have created... I am beyond impressed. It actually looks like it'll be a lot of fun... I don't know how many of the members signed up for the league as of now, but I've been seeing a few people on and off lately who used to battle text... I believe we should try to prompt some of the retired battlers... Actually, some of the members we have so far are great, but I was thinking of a battle league from hell.. I know some of the people aren't here often, but it's just a thought:

Pissy
YWE
Aero
MCD
Illar
Damien
Genesis
Nuke
Ell
Xkwisite
Benton Quest
Adverb
Myself
TeK
Shadow
The Truth
... Who am I missing..? Long gone members...

Hemlok
SD
Ninjamic

..*sighs* Well, what I'm trying to say is, this better work this go 'round...:(
